Whether on film or metal base – nyloprint® letterpress printing plates cope with every design.

• High print contrast with an exceptional tonal range• Brilliant halftone gradations• Very high resolution – up to 10 000 dpi• Excellent ink transfer• Very good durability for long print runs• Reliably reusable for repeat orders

Tubes, cups and cans printing

The demand for more complex designs on packaging continues to increase. With the nyloprint® product range for tubes, cups and cans it is possible to meet these challenges − the finest details are easily achieved. Whether printing on plastic or metal, the nyloprint® range offers a specialist solution.

Due to a wide exposure latitude and high resolution of nyloprint® letterpress plates, fine lines and type can be printed to perfection on tubes, cups and cans. With a good and homogeneous ink transfer, solids, line work and halftones look absolutely brilliant. The nyloprint® printing plates have the ability to print several million impressions easily.

Pad printing

On plastics, glass, porcelain, enamel or ceramics – with nyloprint® pad printing plates designs and fine type can be transferred most precisely on nearly all substrates and geometric shapes. Excellent detail reproduction, easy and fast plate processing are the outstanding attributes.

Due to the high abrasion resistance of the photopolymer plates nyloprint® WSA and nyloprint® ST can perform long print runs that are otherwise only achieved by using steel gravure plates. The extremely high resolution (up to 10000 dpi) and wide tonal range enable the production of top quality printed products.

nyloprint® stencil plates are used for inking-up the impression cylinder in intaglio printing presses. These plates have been developed after many years of experience in security printing and in close cooperation with customers.

nyloprint® intaglio master plates – in intaglio printing the nyloprint® gravure printing plate acts as the master form used in the galvanic processing of the actual printing plate. These plates make it possible to manufacture a complete form in one step, much quicker and easier than with previous processing methods. Many intermediate steps in the galvanic processing are no longer required thus reducing the chance of error.

Embossing and hot moulding

Embossing is one of the most sophisticated and effective print finishing techniques. It accentuates the details of the design, sets them apart from the background and creates a true eye-catching result.
